That is why “drywall Bakersfield” is a top search for anyone planning a remodel, addition, or brand–new build. At CountBricks, we combine on-site craftsmanship with our proprietary AI estimating engine to bring homeowners faster, clearer, and more cost-certain drywall solutions.

• Smooth Level-5 finish for modern custom homes
• Orange peel to disguise minor framing variations
• Knockdown for a subtle, high-end look that also hides scuffs
• Hand-troweled skip trowel for a Southwest aesthetic
1. Sheet Thickness
Standard 1/2-inch works for most interior walls, but many Bakersfield owners choose 5/8-inch Type X for garages and dual-purpose rooms for improved fire rating.
2. Ceiling Height
Homes with 10-foot or vaulted ceilings require longer boards or more seams, modestly increasing labor.
3. Insulation & Vapor Barrier Add-Ons
While Bakersfield is dry, we sometimes recommend a smart vapor retarder in kitchens and baths to combat indoor humidity.
4. Seismic Resilience
CountBricks fastens boards with specific screw spacing and uses flexible joint compounds around stress points to mitigate cracking.
• Standard 2-bedroom remodel: $1.90 – $2.40 per sq ft installed
• New custom home Level-5 finish: $2.75 – $3.25 per sq ft installed
• Fire-rated garage upgrade: $2.20 – $2.70 per sq ft installed
All figures are based on recent CountBricks.com/services data and include materials, labor, and cleanup.
Most Bakersfield projects mobilize within seven days after contract signing because our AI finalizes procurement instantly.
Yes. If your scope triggers city review, CountBricks manages submissions and schedules inspections at no extra administrative fee.
No. Our software eliminates paperwork so supervisors can focus on quality checks and homeowner communication, not spreadsheets.
• Schedule HVAC activation after texture but before paint for proper cure times
• Opt for low-VOC joint compound if anyone in the home has sensitivities
• Use backer boards in bathrooms to avoid moisture issues
• Request a light check before primer; CountBricks uses LEDs to spot flaws invisible under normal lighting

When the Ramirez family purchased a 1940s Craftsman in Bakersfield’s Westchester neighborhood, they faced plaster walls riddled with cracks from decades of minor quakes. CountBricks was called in to modernize the interior while preserving vintage charm.
• 2,300 sq ft of lath-and-plaster demo completed in two days with negative-air containment to protect original hardwood floors
• AI estimate accuracy: final invoice deviated only 1.6% from the initial voice quote
• Combination of 5/8-inch Type X on shared garage walls and 1/2-inch lightweight drywall elsewhere to balance safety and weight
• Custom hand-troweled texture blended with existing ceiling medallions for a seamless, period-appropriate look
1. Older homes benefit from AI-driven discovery. CountBricks detected hidden furred-out walls on the blueprints, avoiding a mid-project change order.
2. Texture is more than aesthetics. In this project, the chosen finish masked minor framing irregularities common in vintage structures.
3. Schedule coordination saves money. Because CountBricks’ estimator synced with our painting division, the home was ready for move-in 10 days sooner, cutting rental costs for the client.
• End-to-end digital transparency through CountBricks.com/portal meant the Ramirezes monitored daily progress from work.
• Our Bakersfield crews applied seismic reinforcement mesh at high-stress corners—a detail absent from the original spec but included at no added cost.
• Post-project sound tests showed a 12-point STC improvement, making the historic home quieter than many new builds.
From mid-century ranches in Laurelglen to new construction in Seven Oaks, CountBricks adapts techniques, materials, and scheduling to meet each neighborhood’s unique demands. Explore more success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio, or start your own with an instant voice quote today.
